Make His Praise Glorious

[@bobareebop]

Drum corps at the absolute pinnacle of the activity. And in my opinion it took some bravery for the show designers to include (much less use as the opener) a popular Christian piece.

[@RNG-hater-123-jd1bb]

oh please

[@voiceofreason9238]

This drill and music still stands the test of time in 2024! Love everything about this opener, the best of what the Madison Scouts stand for.

[@majorchubbs3647]

Those 8 contra-basses really pulling their weight, loud and clean....love it!

[@deanbadeaux9915]

I noticed that immediately. I’m a former contra player so I’m always listening for a strong low end brass sound.

[@dougfunk1667]

Former Midrange player here. I always appreciate what a good contra line can do!

[@ricoclark4783]

Agreed........they put out some major watts that night

[@lopezmotorsports]

Best use of the back field EVER!!! Wish they would still do this.

[@maxalain9948]

Such an underrated opener.

[@SKYBRITE27]

Appearing as defending champs of the previous year...everything was pretty solid.Even the subtleties are not wasted on me,but I'm a very longtime fan

[@keemez]

@ Sky Did you happen to catch 2017? Thoughts?

[@muybueno8453]

Peter Grun yea every high school band did this AFTER Madison presented it..😑

[@muybueno8453]

Peter Grun still doesn't change the fact that since they did it, many schools have done it. Like I said. Lexington HS did The Planets in 1992 3 years before Cavies won with some of the same arrangements so does that make the Cavies lame? Just asking.

[@k.coleman9317]

@@muybueno8453 A fine band from lexington KY did it the previous year...kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2eoqHx6hrlqj8U

[@harveyfantas954]

I remember this year. The soprano section (trumpets) were awesome. If they were combined with the '88 season Baritones, they would've been even more amazing. Madison is my favorite corps from the 70's 80's 90's. Looking forward to them finding their way again. Go Madison!!

[@danielcrawford4134]

That's a great way of putting it: "finding their way again." Seems they fell off a cliff a bit the last few years.

[@jeffkoehncomedy2370]

I felt us Baris/Euphos were pretty strong here in 89 too!

[@fliprobison]

@@jeffkoehncomedy2370 That was the strongest hornline - top to bottom - (including Euphs, haha) that I ever marched in!!

[@brianjungen4059]

They’re still trying to find their way. :(.

[@jaydee-222]

If you combined this opener with the 88 closer, that would be the greatest show of all time in my book.

[@srtyler]

I heard this on tour several times and always thought it sounded great. Agree with you about combining this with Malagueña.

[@srtyler]

Anyone have the brass placings from 89?

[@KiranSundarkdog97]

@@srtyler 4th in prelims, I believe, but lower in semis and finals (can’t remember at the top of my head, but it’s on From the Pressbox). Surprisingly low to me, honestly.

[@totesgene]

I marched '88 and '89 Scouts. Of everything we did, our '88 opener was by far my favorite thing. Such a fun and interesting piece. I know I'm in the minority here, but I loved it heaps above Malaguena or Make His Praise Glorious (although those were pretty damn good too).

That Soprano line is 🔥

Thank you

[@VIRGILSKEEN]

Classic Maddison Scouts! Great Wall of sound!

[@sbyrstall]

I miss that in today's summer marching bands. Now it's a wall of speakers.

[@veot.2869]

@@sbyrstall Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Yep. Glad I marched in the early to mid '90s!!!!

[@drumcorpshunter535]

Imagine this opener with the 88 closer.

[@neilpalmer5577]

Wonderful show in all areas, usually you would say how the hell did this get 7th place but 1989 is a monster year of good Corps!

[@KiranSundarkdog97]

Neil Palmer yeeeaahhh when you have 4-6 within 0.6 of each other, and 1-3 being as good as they were, that’ll kinda block you out of the top 6 lol. Madison may have been awesome in ‘89, but like you said, ‘89 was just a really good year.

[@Mark-sj3xb]

Santa Clara was given a second shot at doing a near identical show as in ‘88. And they were rewarded for it. Phantom Regiment ripped off big time just like in ‘78

[@totesgene]

@@Mark-sj3xb Yeah ok.

[@totesgene]

@@Mark-sj3xb1. 1989 Vanguard wasn’t an identical show to 1988. 2. 1989 Vanguard was a new show for everyone who marched it. 3. 1989 Vanguard was better than 1989 Regiment. 4. 1978 Vanguard was better than 1978 Regiment. End of.

[@DavidJTooley]

Fantastic! Their timing and tuning are impeccable. Great Job!

[@betaomega04]

David Maslanka would go on to use this in his fourth symphony (1994). If you haven't heard it, it probably has the best, most epic ending of anything in the wind band repertoire.

[@brianjungen4059]

You can take out the probably. That’s one of the best pieces of music ever written.

[@Jesusfreak3378]

just wow

[@benrub]

outstanding!

Followed by the hard-ass turn back to the press-box and crescendo at 2:27

[@DrJAFox]

Great song, fantastic drill - very exciting and without props

[@Iccarus72]

Who was the Drill writer for 88 and 89? I know Todd Ryan used to work on Staff those.years but not sure if he wrote drill

[@edselcross9536]

I never like a contra line that does not wear the same gear as the hornline.
